Tofu Scramble

This easy tofu scramble recipe is a delicious vegan breakfast! It has a savory, eggy flavor and soft, creamy texture. Ready in 15 minutes!

This tofu scramble is one of my favorite vegan breakfast recipes, if not one of my favorite breakfasts, period. I think it’s just as delicious as classic scrambled eggs. It’s soft and creamy, and it has a rich, eggy flavor thanks to nutritional yeast and a few key spices. Bonus: it’s also high in protein! I love having it in my rotation for mornings when I’m in the mood for a savory breakfast that doesn’t involve eggs. It’s easy to make in one pan, so you can throw it together on a weekday, but with the right fixings, it’s totally weekend-worthy too.…

Stir Fry Sauce

This stir fry sauce recipe is sweet, savory, and super easy to make. Use it to whip up a quick, flavorful stir fry with whatever you have in your fridge!

A good stir fry sauce is the secret to a delicious stir fry. I should know, because I made my fair share of disappointing stir fries when I was learning how to cook. Nine times out of ten, when one fell flat, it was because the sauce was too bland, too salty, or too watery. But over the years, I’ve developed a homemade stir fry sauce I love. It’s nicely balanced, with a sweet, savory, and tangy flavor. It has a perfect texture too. A little cornstarch helps it thicken in the pan, creating a glossy coating for any combination of…

Cacio e Pepe

Cacio e pepe is a classic Roman pasta with a glossy sauce made of pecorino cheese and black pepper. Learn how to make it with this simple recipe!

Cacio e pepe is like mac and cheese’s cool Italian cousin. It’s creamy and comforting, sure, but it’s also simple and elegant. Traditionally, this Roman dish consists of three ingredients: Pecorino Romano cheese, freshly cracked black pepper, and pasta. A little pasta water helps the cheese and pepper come together to form the pasta’s silky sauce. I’ve been a fan of cacio e pepe since I first tasted it on a trip to Rome years ago. I love the salty funk of the cheese against the bite of the black pepper. I’ve made it at home many times…with mixed success. Despite…
